Xbox is cautiously rolling out an automated refund service. This is excellent.

Microsoft is currently testing a new refund system on the Xbox and Windows 10 Store.

Similarly to Steam and Origin refunds, the new system allows users to automatically process refunds on digital purchases, provided you’ve spent less than 2 hours playing and made the purchase within the last 14 days.

Self-refunds are currently only available to a small number of Xbox Insider members, and Microsoft confirmed with Polygon this it’s in the “pilot testing” phase right now.

Here’s the full text of the notification sent out to Xbox Insiders about the service:

You’ve spoken; we’ve listened. In support of offering gamers the freedom of choice, we’re making changes to the Microsoft Store purchase experience by offering customers a simple way to instantly return digital products like games and apps through account.microsoft.com.

When a game or app leaves you wanting more, we’re here to help. Self-service refunds on Xbox One and Windows 10 provide a quick, simple way of returning a digital product.

To request a self-service refund:

Navigate to account.microsoft.com and sign-in.
From the top menu bar, select Payment & billing > Order history.
Navigate to a purchased game or app, and select Request a refund.
Please note the below conditions for requesting a self-service refund:

Games and apps are eligible for self-service refunds within 14 days of purchase if you have less than 2 hours of play time across all accounts.
DLC, season passes, and add-ons are not eligible for self-service refunds.
The game or app must be downloaded and launched before requesting a self-service refund.
You must wait for at least 1 day after the game or app’s release before requesting a self-service refund.
Certain Windows 10 apps may not be eligible for self-service refunds.
Microsoft reserves the right to block access for users who abuse self-service refunds.
Although you could have a grump about how long it’s taken to implement such a service, it’s really great to see Microsoft adding this consumer-friendly tool to the Xbox and Windows 10 storefronts. Well done, Redmond.

Nintendo and Sony currently do not offer automated refund services. In general getting your money back on a mistaken or dud digital console purchase involves hanging on the phone or waiting on email chains. What a pain.

Today, we’re continuing our commitment to give you more options to diversify and expand your library of games with Xbox Game Pass, a new gaming subscription service coming later this spring. Xbox Game Pass gives you unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and backward compatible Xbox 360 games – all for $9.99 per month.

Windows 10's next update — the "Creators Update" — will introduce native live-streaming features to PC and Xbox One gaming.

Microsoft announced the new capability this morning at a keynote event. The feature appears to make use of Beam, the live-streaming service it acquired back in August, and integrates with the Windows Game Bar.
Streaming begins by touching a panel inside an Xbox application; networked friends will be notified of the new stream and invited to view it.

During a broadcast, a chat interface that hovers over a broadcast of a game in Windows 10 or Xbox Live will scroll up dialogue from viewers suggesting what the broadcaster should do or try in the game.
The update also allows the means to create custom tournaments for Xbox One/Windows 10 games, with user-specific challenges attached.

These tournaments will work across both the Xbox One and Windows PC.

The Windows 10 "Creators Update" will launch this spring for free for all Windows 10 devices.

According to the nesbox Twitter account, the free-to-download emulator – which lets users play ROMs and create their own games – has passed certification and is due to appear in the Windows Store for Xbox One “soon.”

As well as USB support for loading ROMs, nesbox plans to add OneDrive cloud functionality in the future for anyone looking to store their ROMs online. The emulator itself features support for the NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, GameBoy Color, and GameBoy Advance.

For anyone getting excited at the prospect of playing Super Mario Bros. on Xbox One, there are a few caveats to consider. First off, there’s a fairly large possibility when Nintendo sees this, a DMCA will be filed and the emulator will only see the light of day in the Windows Store. The other thing to remember: Downloading ROMs you don’t own a copy of is illegal in most countries. So proceed with caution, yeah?

If you’re looking for more recent games to play on your Xbox One, don’t forget IGN has an ever-expanding list of all the backward compatible titles to date.

Okay, so this isn't "new news", but the Xbox One S is out. Sleeker, smaller, and has 4k output.

One thing I did see while reading reviews....you cannot hook your Kinect into it without an adapter. I guess in order to make it smaller and such they couldn't provide power to the Kinect. So you need an adapter that plugs into a wall outlet.

You can get the adapter free, however.

Quote:

For a limited time, the Kinect Adapter will be available for free to customers who have an existing Xbox One console, an Xbox One Kinect Sensor, and an Xbox One S console. You will need the serial number for all three devices to get the free Xbox Kinect Adapter. To request your free Kinect Adapter, contact Xbox Support.

To save time, we recommend that you make sure your Xbox One S console, original Xbox One console, and Xbox One Kinect Sensor are registered to your Microsoft account. Go to Device Support to register your devices.

Not sure if others noticed or not, but one of the changes Microsoft made this time with Terms of Service was to require you to sign in with a gamer tag at least once in 5 years.

Now through 8/15 Microsoft are offering a special deal on Microsoft gift cards via Bing rewards. You can get a $5 card for 325 points, or a $10 card for $650 points. That is an excellent deal, considering how easy it is to rack up Bing points.
